Method for querying and presenting data from events

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11960485B2) outlines a computer-implemented method that involves receiving a query with specific field values, a time period, and a content request. The method includes searching an event data store, identifying relevant events, determining a subset of events based on context definitions, extracting field values, and generating a response that satisfies the content request. The response is then presented on a user interface. The patent also covers variations of the method, such as including field types, additional field values, and organizing contexts by type with associated event counts.
Furthermore, the patent extends to a system and a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that execute similar operations as the computer-implemented method. The system comprises memory with instructions and computer processors to perform the method's operations, while the storage medium includes instructions for executing the method. The patent emphasizes the importance of context definitions, event contexts, and field values in generating responses to user queries. Additionally, it specifies various context types like network, endpoint, threat, identity, application, and data, providing a comprehensive approach to handling queries and presenting relevant information to users efficiently.
